City Flag

Toyota was originally known as Koromo, the sole distribution center for silk works in the Mikawa region from the Taisho era though the early 20th century. In 1930, the silk industry began to decline and in 1934, Koromo began seeking investments in the automobile industry. In 1959, the name was changed to Toyota. The city is located in Chubu District.
